Huntington Beach, CA
Very delicious and full of flavor. Really blown away every time we come here how consistent the quality is. I just love the zesty feta and the lamb chops are amazing. One place you can truly eat healthy with a salad and meat AW is one of my regular spots.

Have been frequenting this place for a few years as a local in town. The food is always fresh, superb, good service, good everything. For the price, it’s a winner.

This place is awesome. The lamb chops are very good and highly recommended. Their chicken salads are also great and it’s a pretty big portion. Just great, clean, delicious Greek food.

Whittier, CA
One of my favorite places to eat at. There food is always fresh and delicious. My favorites are their Athens west combo and their calamari. My fiancé and I travel about 40 mins just to have dinner and lunch at this location. The one in Huntington Beach is also a great location.

Delusions food. Prices are even better. Staff is very friendly. My husband and I go to the HB location as well.

I never had Greek food prior to visiting this restaurant and now I’m hooked! Customer service is pretty average. Not too great, not too bad either. Just about average. They never seem to try and make a connection with their customer but not necessarily a big deal!
However, the food is super delicious and the portions are pretty great for the price. Definitely a regular!

Good food and awesome portions for your buck! Their bathroom was kinda gross. But the star is the food!
Customer service was ok. I can’t say it was above and beyond personable, but no one was rude. Service was quick.

In wonderful Seal Beach.
Nice people as well.

Just had lunch here and was reminded how good the food is. I would recommend Athens to anyone in the area looking for some good Greek food.

Got the spanakopita platter. Salad was crisp but the filo dough in the spanikopita was soft as if they microwaved the thing to get it warm again. Friends had the gyros and it wasn’t anything to bring home to talk about. The outdoor seating is nice, however.

Food and prices are decent but there is room for improvement. I continue to go here primarily because I’m new to the area and this is the only place I’m familiar with to get decent Greek food.
I usually get the chicken sandwich or chicken kabobs. It comes with a salad (which is good but their kalamata olives are NOT seedless as I got a rude awakening today at lunch), pita bread (which is okay but soggy thanks to poor plate arrangement in which it was trapped under the kabob – it’s been limp other times I’ve come here).
The food is pretty good for what you pay however ($ 10.79 total for 2 kabobs with rice and salad and pita bread) and I don’t have any issues with the place enough to not come back, though if I find better quality Greek elsewhere in the LB area I wouldn’t be too sad to say goodbye to this place.

Great greek food for the price! We get take out from here 1 – 2 times per week and its always good. The cashier and cooks have always been nice. The greek salad (ask for no lettuce) is awesome and chicken kabob plate is great too.

I’ve seen this place many times, but just managed to stop in for the first time today — so glad I did. My $ 7 gyro sandwich was big, filling, and delicious. Go for the Greek-​style, with French fries, spicy Feta and tzatziki inside. I’ll be back for sure.

Good service for a counter joint.
Everything we had was great. Lamb and chicken were done well. Salad was surprisingly good. Super fresh and the goat cheese was sharp and delicious.
Dog friendly patio. Cheep beer!
Will certainly be walking back often.

Great greek food in a casual atmosphere!
Fiancé and I both got the Gyro Platter and were not disappointed. This is our go to Greek dish and we can be pretty picky, but we were both pleased. Loved the meat, tzatziki, and orzo side dish. Price was very affordable and the other dishes looked good too.
Small inside seating, but the patio is heated so you’ll want to head out there.
The perfect way to end a day at the beach and by far some of the best Greek in north OC.

Really great place. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. It is mediterranean food but it’s on the Greek side.
I had the Chicken Pita with fries and the salad: It was perfect. My only critique is I’ll probably ask to have the sauce put inside the sandwich next time.
I’ve had the combo platter: The salad here is the best I’ve had at any mediterranean place. The orzo is a bit dry and sticks together but it’s fine.

Came here for dinner on a Friday as I was craving Greek food.
COMBINATION PLATE ($ 9.99)
— A skewer of steak, delicious gyro meat, orzo pasta, Greek salad, pita bread & tzatziki sauce
— the steak skewer was a bit too tough if not overcooked
— the orzo pasta was decent and well flavored with the chicken stock
— the gyro meat was indeed delicious and tender
— would recommend just getting Gyro Plate or Gyro Pita Sandwich
SERVICE: friendly staff members. everything is self-​serve. Employees don’t evict you from the outdoor patio even after they are closed.
ENVIRONMENT: very casual setting. indoor and outdoor seating available. FREE parking lot which is great especially during the busy weekends.
Overall it’s decent. The prices are reasonable and the best part is the parking lot! The gyro is good and the plate can be filling. Come check it out if you’re looking for something different on Main St!

I was turned on to this place by my daughter when she used to go surfing at seal beach. It is a nice open air restaurant as well as an inside as well.
I personally like the gyro. I think they are fresh as well as the items that are in the gyro. From looking at it, the gyro seems to be a heavy piece of food. I must disagree. The meat is thin and the pita is nice and light. I think the red onion adds to the sandwich.
The place is always clean and while it is summer it is the best to sit outside to enjoy the day or evening. Parking might be tough on the weekends but there is public parking all around. You just have to wait for it.
Ill be coming back again.
